Esethulweni namuhla sika-Neil Walters, the Inhlangano Yezokuvakasha YaseCaribbean (CTO) Ibamba likaNobhala Jikelele, liveze umbiko walo:
Igqugquzelwe ukululama okuqinile ezindaweni ezathintwa iziphepho u-Irma noMaria ngo-2017, ezokuvakasha zaseCaribbean zaphindela phezulu ukuze zithumele amarekhodi abafikayo ngokuya ngokuhlala kanye nokuhamba ngomkhumbi ngo-2019.
Ukufika kwe-Stayover kukhule ngamaphesenti angama-4.4 kwaze kwafinyelela ezigidini ezingama-31.5. Lokhu kudlule izinga lokukhula kwamazwe ngamazwe elingu-3.8% elibikwe yiNhlangano Yezokuvakasha Yomhlaba.
Sekukonke, izindawo ezithinteke kakhulu iziphepho ngo-2017 zabona amanani aphezulu kakhulu okukhula. Ezinye izibonelo zalokhu kwakuyiSint Maarten eyathola ukukhula ngamaphesenti angu-80, i-Anguilla (amaphesenti angu-74.9), iBritish Virgin Islands (amaphesenti angu-57.3), iDominica (amaphesenti angu-51.7), i-US Virgin Islands (amaphesenti angu-38.1), nePuerto Rico yanda (amaphesenti angu-31.2) iphesenti).
Khonamanjalo, ukuvakasha ngomkhumbi kukhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-3.4 kwafinyelela ezigidini ezingu-30.2, nokumele unyaka wesikhombisa wokukhula.
I-US ibisebenza kahle kakhulu phakathi kwezimakethe ezinkulu zokuhlala, ibhalise ukukhula ngamaphesenti ayi-10 ukuze ifinyelele irekhodi lezivakashi eziyizigidi eziyi-15.5.
Kodwa-ke, iCanada, okungenye yezimakethe ezinkulu ezimbili ezibe nokukhula okuqhubekayo kule minyaka emithathu edlule, yayivilapha ngo-2019 ekukhuleni ngamaphesenti angu-0.4, okulingana nokuvakasha kwezivakashi eziyizigidi ezingu-3.4.
Imakethe yaseYurophu yehle ngamaphesenti angu-1.4 isuka ezigidini ezingu-5.9 ngo-2018 yaya ezigidini ezingu-5.8. I-UK yehle ngamaphesenti angama-5.6 yaya kubavakashi abacishe babe yizigidi eziyi-1.3.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuhamba kwe-intra-Caribbean kukhuphuke ngamaphesenti angu-7.4 ukuze kufinyelele ezigidini ezingu-2.0, kuyilapho imakethe yaseNingizimu Melika yehla ngamaphesenti angu-10.4 kuya ku-1.5 million.
Ngokusho kwe-STR Global, imali engenayo yomkhakha wamahhotela ngegumbi ngalinye elitholakalayo yayingama-US$139.45 amele izinga lokukhula elingamaphesenti angu-2.8, kuyilapho isilinganiso samakamelo osuku ngalunye sikhule ngamaphesenti angu-5.6 saya ku-$218.82. Ukuhlala kwamakamelo ngakolunye uhlangothi, kwehle ngamaphesenti angama-2.7, kusuka kumaphesenti angama-65.5 ngo-2018 kuya kumaphesenti angama-63.7 ngonyaka owedlule.
Sengiphetha, unyaka ka-2019 ube muhle kakhulu kwezokuvakasha kwase-Caribbean, awusekelwe kuphela ekusebenzeni okurekhodiwe kwesifunda, kodwa nakwezinye izindawo ezithile. Lezi zinzuzo zenziwe naphezu kwezinselelo ezimbalwa ezifana nokungaqiniseki kwezomnotho womhlaba kanye nezombusazwe kanye nomthelela wokuguquka kwesimo sezulu okuholela ezenzakalweni zesimo sezulu esibi kakhulu kwezinye izimo.
Njengoba sizulazula ngo-2020, ukukhathazeka kusasele ngokungaqiniseki komhlaba wonke kwezomnotho, ezemvelo, ezombusazwe kanye nezenhlalo, okuhlanganisa nokhetho lukamongameli wase-US, umthelela wokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nezimo zezulu ezimbi kakhulu kanye nezinsongo/izingqinamba zempilo, ikakhulukazi i-coronavirus, nokuthi lokhu kungase kube nomthelela kanjani kithi. ukusebenza.
Bangu ezinye izici ukufinyelela komoya endaweni engaphansi kunokwanele kanye namazinga aphezulu entela angase avimbe ukuhamba. Kodwa-ke, izindawo okuyiwa kuzo zenza ngcono ingqalasizinda yazo futhi kukhona ukutshalwa kwezimali okuvuselelwe esifundeni ezikhungweni zezokuvakasha kubo bobabili abahamba ngezindiza nabasolwandle.
Ngo-2020, abavakashi abafika ezindaweni ezithintekile zesiphepho sango-2017 kufanele baqhubeke nokujwayelekile, babuyele emazingeni angaphambi kwesiphepho. Ezinye izindawo kulindeleke ukuthi zikhombise ukukhula kancane njengoba umnotho womhlaba kulindeleke ukuthi ukhule ngo-2.5%, ngokweWorld Bank, kanti umnotho wase-USA (okuyimakethe yemithombo emikhulu kule ndawo) kulindeleke ukuthi ukhule ngo-1.8 %.
Ngokusekelwe ezilinganisweni zethu zangaphambili, amazinga okufika kwezivakashi e-Caribbean kulindeleke ukuthi akhule phakathi kuka-1.0% no-2.0% ngo-2020, ngenani elifanayo lokukhula elilindelekile emkhakheni wezokuvakasha.
